NetNewsWire v3.1.7b4 Released

I just got a little pop-up saying that NetNewsWire had an update for me - to v3.1.7b4. Seems there was a problem at startup, and someone wanted to be able to execute Javascript for the given page from Obj-C. Nothing major, but nice to update in any case.

But after the update I noticed this same problem I've had for a while - every now and then, when refreshing the list of articles, the parser gets "stuck" on PHPmac.com and the "out of" number of RSS feeds climbs rapidly without bound. I typically just cancel the activity, and I'm OK. But I decided to check, and sure enough, the site is there, but I'm not allowed to see anything. I think this is what's causing the problem.

So... if I get time tomorrow I should send in a little bug to the developer and let him know what I've found. I'm not the only one, I'm sure, and it's probably a much larger issue of proper error handling.

[8/20 3:44am] UPDATE: I sent in the bug report. We'll see if they contact me, or an update appears to correct this in the next release.
